River States Conference - Softball

The River States Conference (RSC) administers NAIA softball, providing regular-season standings, schedules, statistics, a conference championship tournament and coach-selected awards. Oakland City won the 2026 RSC regular-season championship with a 30–6 conference record, while IU Southeast won the conference tournament and represented the RSC as its tournament champion in the NAIA national championship field. The All-Conference teams and Player, Pitcher, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards are selected by a vote of the league’s coaches. The conference was founded in 1916 as the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and adopted the River States Conference name in 2016.
